What is a PKO Bounty Tournament?

  • As you knock out other players, you are paid 50% of their bounty and the other 50% is added to your total bounty
  • Unlike regular knockout tournaments the value of the bounties can grow.
  • If you are the victor in a PKO Tournament you win in multiple ways:
    Win the amount in the general prize pool for 1st place
    Win the bounties you earned over the course of the event
    Keep the full amount of the bounty that is on your head
